NanoDevice Micromesh
Nanodevice Medical Devices Make Big News in Ireland. As previously mentioned on this blog, Medical devices continue to be a major center of growth and activity both in R&D and job creation for the Irish economy. But allied to this power house another developing science is begining to make itself felt. Nanoscience is rapidly converging and combining with the BioPharma and Medical device sectors which were once seen as distinct and completely sepperate branches of science and are now adding incredible synergies. Medical devices and biopharma products are now being enhanced and expanded far beyond their existing or previously envisioned applications into new and advanced medical or clinical applications. They have also opened up completly new research vistas undreamt of less than five years ago.
Nanoscience adds a different dimension or perhaps microdimension to products such as medical devices that allows them to operate at the subatomic level. For instance, as we see with most medical devices at present they operate as simple tools treating the symptoms of ailments whereas we are already witnessing the application of nanoscience to medical devices that will very soon actually allow them to actively cure an illness.
Specifically we can envisage the usage of nano robots that can heal tears in arteries unreachable by contemporary surgery techniques. Additionally early research is already being undertaken with the development of gold plated nano drugs capable of functioning as effectively as a smart bio weapon, guided precisely and unerringly to the point of infection such as cancerous tumours doing away with debilitating chemo or radiation therapy.
Added together, medical devices, ICT and Biopharma employ over 130,000 people emphasising their importance to the nation as a significant economic driver. Given the global market for nanoscience products is over €3 Trillion Dollars, or to localise this figure, last year Ireland exported over €150 Billion in goods and services, of this 10% were nanoscience enabled or related products or €15 Billion. By 2015 this figure could be as much as €30 Billion.
Small wonder then that as this sector continues to grow in importance, it will continue to be a beacon of hope in a time of unprecedented economic gloom.

Quality and Regulation relies on feedback- good or bad.
Whats the use of complaining? Complaints handling in the medical devices manufacturing inustry is a profession in itself. Complaints can be an indication of quality of product and service which can in turn be indicators of good or bad manufacturing and service processess that require review and improvement.
There will always be a level of complaints and these complaints are an excellent source of unbiased feedback that can help improve products and provide a viewpoint sepperate to those who are so close to the immediate manufacturing process of product that they may not see the woods for the trees.
Complaints are also a good way to ensure that complacency doe snot creep in and that the company and its employees continue to strive for improvements beyond the simply adequate. After all who wantst to have an average product or service experience when you can have an excellent product or service?
So the next time you complain think of the impact and contibution you have on the world around you.

Medical Device Components
Research and Development (R&D) investment continues to increase by major multinational companies operating in Ireland today. In particular there have been several major investments announced within the Irish Medical Device manufacturing industry. Boston Scientific, Medtronic and Teleflex have indicated sizable investments in their research facilities based in Ireland that have positive long term implications for jobs already established here and for future investment that can only add to the technological career opportunities available for R&D, Quality, Materials, Product development and Tooling/ Moulding Engineers. These professionals; particular those with expertise in Processing, Polymers and advanced Plastics, will be required to support these projects and future advanced research projects which are at the heart of some of the most sophisticated medical devices manufactured anywhere in the world.
Needless to say, these are careers that are both well paid, and with considerable promotional prospects that are not confined to traditional Irish manufacturing industries but also offer possibilities far beyond these shores and in other allied industries such as BioPharmaceuticals and semiconductor to name a few. Irish Recruitment agencies have not been slow to recognize this and are now actively supporting it as a core industrial sector.

A Mechanical Commissioning Engineer ensures his harness in safely in place.
Good morning and welcome to My science jobs with news that we have a green light for green jobs.
Recently at the IRCSET (Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology) symposium, the Irish government with the backing of Major Multinationals such as Intel and Microsoft and supported by sustainable Energy Ireland, have made a commitment to drive greater resources into the Smart economy.
In paticular this will be in the areas of Green IT and Green Tech jobs.
This commitment will include:-
Ensuring the supply of highly skilled talent and the supply of high achieving graduates up to Phd level.
Investing heavily in research and development and enhancing the environment between Academic and market facing commercial interests.
Implementation of a “Green Deal” and moving towards Green Renewable Energies and away from Fossil fuel energy programs.
Promoting Green Collar jobs and Green Enterprise.
Within the Green Collar Jobs sector there are a number of employment possibilities covering such aspects as energy production as well as conservation not simply related to areas such as wind turbine manufacture. Opportunities here exist for a wide variety of professional engineers such as:- Precision Tooling Engineers, Toolmakers, Mechanical, Electrical, Automation and Manufacturing Engineers.
R&D carried out in Ireland has also led to the development and manufacture of micro turbines that can produce electrical energy in even the smallest of wind environments and as a result have made them cheaper to manufacture and increasingly attractive to a wider range of customers both domestic as well as commercial. The implications for the marketing and sale of these devices and the possibility for increases in employment growth is therefore significant.
Here we can see opportunities for Moulding Engineers, Project Managers and Project Engineers in addition to Systems and Telecommunications Engineers
Additionally, in areas such as inteligent lighting systems that detect the level of ambient light and switch of lights when they are not needed. These specific inteligent public lighting systems are already in operation in Germany and are being looked at with keen interest by Intel who have been quick to see their application globally, these too are manufactured here in Ireland.
Again we have seen there has bene an increase in the demand for manufacturing, QA/QC, Mechanical and Tooling Engineers as well as Project Managers, Mechanical and Electrical Technicians, Equipment Engineers, Schedulers and Planners as demand is expected to increase.
Green Tech and Green Research & Development then offers considerable long term employment prospects for native Irish engineering talent. For further information on Green jobs in the green technology and Green R&D jobs, stay tuned or visit Jackie Brown Medical for further recruitment opportunities in a host of new technology sectors such as Medical Device jobs, Manufacturing jobs, Engineering jobs and science jobs.

Good Manufacturing Practice-Consistent Quality
Quality versus Quantity used to be a dilemma faced by manufacturers faced by the dual consideration of competition and the diminishing return on investment after cost ie profits.
More precisely, manufacturers of goods would consider how do you increase profits when you are facing increased competition and increasing numbers of competitors eating into your market share? Do you increase production and hope to swamp your competitors with lower cost items that you can charge less for and therefore increase your market share - or do you produce better high quality items which you can charge more for and thus get more for less and also retain and grow a loyal customer base who will trust your product over the oppositions cheaper and possibly less reliable product.
Myscience jobs considers the question as now largely rhetorical. Quality wins out every time.
Today Quality Control and Quality Assurance is a major consideration for all Irish high tech manufacturing from medical devices through to semiconductors and pharmaceutical products. Irish manufacturing is performed to World Class Manufacturing environment standards including BS, ISO, FDA, and GMP.
None of the billions of investment that have been spent would have been done so if these standards could not be guaranteed to be maintained and improved as they have been by Quality Managers, Engineers and technicians who police and maintain them, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in manufacturing plants, R&D facilities, Design consultancies and practices through out Ireland.
Needless to say, there remains today, a significant number of scientfic, engineering and manufacturing jobs open to Quality professionals encompassing all the above sectors despite the economic downturn, which will endure and expand in the years ahead as clients and customers continue to demand quality over quantity.
For quality jobs in medical device manufacture, R&D, Plastics, engineering and science, consider Jackie Brown Medical where quality counts in recruitment for Quality Jobs.

Medical Devices
Welcome again to myscience jobs. Today we will look at the Medical Devices manufacturing industry and the growth in Medical devices job opportunities.
What are medical devices and why has there been such growth? Medical devices consist of an extremely wide variety of products used with a medical purpose in patients applied to such aspects as diagnostics, therapy or surgical and the effect is generally physical.
They can be as simple as tongue depressors or as complex as minute plastic components such as filter components used in kidney dialysis or as intricate as x-ray machines. Growth then has followed swiftly as a direct result of rapid advances in science and scientific discoveries which have in turn led to new applications of advanced materials; for instance, plastics or exotic polymers which have in turn resulted in the manufacturability of minute vascular components which to manufacture less than a decade ago were undreamt of in term the size and quality that are now commonplace.
Further still we have seen the application of plastics in the manufacture of products expand to as diverse a range of products as gas permeable contact lenses, prosthetic limbs, monitoring devices, pacemakers and cheap disposable hypodermics which can now be manufactured in the millions. This has resulted in a massive reduction in cost, allowing access to clean, safe, healthcare / medical devices previously beyond the financial affordability of many people who suffer from long term illnesses requiring for instance the application of insuline, morphine or other life term medicines.
Small wonder then that Ireland has seen an explosion in the number of medical device manufacturing companies which have decided to capitalise on our local skill base and opted to set up in Ireland. These multinationals range from Boston Scientific, to Johnson and Johnson. The consequence of these companies opening here then is a corresponding increase in demand for skilled polymer/process engineers, materials and quality research specialists amongst others to service these state of the art manufacturing facilities that continue to thrive despite a global economic downturn.
Opportunities do exist for those who are qualified and experienced, and for those Irish agencies who are specialists in the fields of medical recruitment, recruiting for moulding technicians and process engineers amongst others, myscience jobs can proudly say that Jackie Brown Medical is well placed as a lead specialist life science recruitment firm in Irish Science Jobs for recruiting for the expanding medical device manufacuring market that continues to offer careers with the potential for professional growth.

Sonographer carrying out an Ultrasound
Welcome to Mysciencejobs where today we are looking at imaging technology as applied to the fields of medical science . In particular we will look at Radiology and ultrasonics, both similar but distinct branches of diagnostic medicine undertaken specifically by Radiologists and Sonographers.
Radiologists direct an array of imaging technologies such as (CT) computed tomography, (PET) Positron Emission Tomograph, Nuclear Medicine and (MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Radiology is amongst the most competitive branches of medicine with further advances in computer technology leading to rapid expansion in the field.
Sonographers are another specialist branch of diagnostic medical professionals who utilse ultrasound to diagnose various medical conditions though the use of ultrasonics by producing imaging via scans, 3D, and Video. Sonographers require an indepth understanding of ultrasound physics, cross sectional anatomy, physiology, pathology and communication skills.
Career opportunities for medical professionals in these fields have grown considerably in Ireland despite current economic conditions and as a result Irish recruitment agencies such as Jackie Brown Medical have found themselves in great demand from clients seeking both radiologists and sonographers.

Saving and Serving Millions -Microsofts new Data Center sited in Dublin
A good day to you from My science jobs on this cool but dry day where it pays to be cool!
Who’d have ever thought that the Irish weather would be a reason why science jobs would come to Ireland?
Serious! It appears that the Irish weather is one of the primary reasons why Microsoft have chosen to site a state of the art Data center in Dublin over several other competing potential sites globally. This site costing over €500 million has already directly resulted in Microsoft and supplier firms recruiting for hundreds of new science jobs and technical related disciplines in the fields of IT and Telecommunications. It will no doubt result in hundreds if not thousands of additional science jobs being created as it supports Irelands existing science and technical infrastructure.
So why choose Ireland then?
Answer;-because it appears the weather is neither too hot or too cold, the new Data Center will not need the normally required and expensive to run cooling towers and heating /ventilation systems. These use prodigeous amounts of electricity and are essential to support the servers operating parameters.
Consider if you will then, that these servers run 365 days a year 24 hours a day -that is a lot of electricity even a small reduction in use then can have massive direct savings. In the case of the new facility this can run into savings in the order of millions. So before it starts, it has already the new site has already saved money. To be cool; stay tuned to mysciencejobs.com for further news and the best science jobs.

Unlocking Human Potential
Welcome again to Myscience jobs.com on this fine glorious day.
Ireland is developing a reputation as a center of excellence for science jobs in the areas of nanotechnology, R&D and Genetics
Nanotechnology in particular has just recently come into focus lately with the news that in twenty years Humanity may achieve immortality.
“How so?” says you. Well, an American scientist Ray Kurtzweil, predicts that with the increasing pace of Human understanding and the integration of new technologies such as genetics, computer science and nanotechnology, it may be possible for Human vital organs and neural systems to be replaced before they begin to degenerate thereby expanding and prolonging natural Human longevity by reversing the process of ageing.
Mr. Kurtzweil’s theories may not be so outlandish when you consider that the first heart and lung transplants were only performed in 1981- a mere 28 years ago. Previously this too had been consider in the realms of science fantasy.
Equally, the Human Genome project took only 13 years to complete, commenced in 1990 and completed in 2003, it had been expected to take far longer but advances in computing and related disciplines accelerated this to the point of shaving several years off the initially anticipated project duration.
The lesson; technology is only limited by our ability to wonder and to create. For those who like to imagine then, science jobs offer potential;- perhaps even immortality?
Stay tuned to mysciencejobs.com for further news in the world of science and technology and for the best science jobs please visit Irelands best recruitment agency Jackie Brown Medical. We cant promise immortality but we can promise you NRF award winning service.
